THIS WEEK IN
WASHINGTON
A Return* of Cwtmnwilll Hap
j panlugi In th* National Cauilal
WASHINGTON. D. C. ? Itching
to get through with the affairs of
state in order to devote their time
to the more personal affairs of
electioneering, it looks as though
congressmen will vote for a prolong
ed adjournment to begin early in
July. If they do, there is no question
that many legislative matters, sup
posedly of major importance will be
side-tracked indefinitely.
The senate is apt to use up con
siderable time discussing the highly
controversial insue of the 3;750 mil
lion dollars loan to Britain. On this
issue the Republicans are widely
split, the two nominal leaders of the
party having very different views.
Senator Vandenberg has endorsed
the loan, while Senator Taft has ask
ed that the loan be voted down but
that an outright gift of 1,250 million
dollars be made to the British to be
used specifically for the purchase of
American goods.
The senate has yr\ to take up the
bill for the extension of price con
trol which, because of the public in
terest in it, is likely to develop into
a mnjor battle. Since the OPA will
fold up on June 30 unless a measure
to continue it has been enacted,
there is the possibility that it will
automatically die. The house already
has passed an OPA extension mea
sure, which OPA offcials say con
tains so many curbs that it could
not function. If the senate should
pass a more lenient bill, there is ex
pected to be great difficulty in
arriving at a conference measure
which would be agreeable t6 -both
houses.
The Case labor control bill is apt
to be one which will be side-tracked
since most senators are not anxious
to debate this measure preceding an
election. However, considerablepres
sure i$ being brought to force a
labor bill to the floor. If the public
becomes sufficiently aroused over
the coal strike, the railroad strike,
| or other major strikes which may
[develop between now and June,
other measures may be put aside to
take action on labor problems.
It seems unlikely now that con
gress will take any final action on
the super-security and health in
surance iyll, the minimum wage
measure (which has passed the sen
ate but made no progress in the
house), or unemployment compen
sation.
The veteran's housing measure, a
form of which has passed each house
%ut must be rewritten in conference,
probably will be worked out before
the session closes, although it is
possible, because of the longrange
problems involved in veterans' hous
ing, that even this measure will be
left hanging in the air when con
gressmen decide that they must get
back to their .home stamping
grounds.
